Parenthood

At Verosika's place, she & her gang were watching Blitzø as he was asleep until

"Mmm." Blitzø groaned

"Look, I think he's starting to wake up." Josh said as Blitzø woke up

"Where am I?" Blitzø looked around & noticed Verosika "Oh, it's you, um…what was your name again?"

"Oh, uh, Verosika." Verosika said surprisingly along with her gang "We found you in an alleyway & took you here."

"Oh, thank you very much, but you really didn't have to do that, you could have just left me alone if you wanted." Blitzø said apprehensively much to everyone's shock & concern

"No, Blitzø, we didn't wanna leave you there." Apple said worriedly

"It's fine, I would've understood if you did." Blitzø said as he got out of the bed "I'll go now."

"Hey, where are you going, Blitzø?" Josh said

"Nowhere." Blitzø said "I better go, I'm sorry for being a bother."

"No wait, don't go." Verosika said

"It's okay, I don't wanna cause any problems then I already did to you." Blitzø said

"...Do you remember me?" Verosika asked

"Yeah, I remember how I left you & that I stole your car & spent your money." Blitzø said shamefully much to everyone's surprise & shock

"Is there anything else you remember?" Kiki asked

"Well, I remember the circus fire I accidentally caused along with Fizzarolli & Barbie hating me, I also remember that I hurt a lot of people along with this tall bird who sang at a party dedicated to hating me because of what I did to them in the past." Blitzø said

"But don't you remember the good times & your friends." Verosika said in concern

"No, only bad times & I don't have any friends." Blitzø said

"What about your job?" Kiki said

"I don't have a job." Blitzø said confusingly

Verosika & the gang were shocked & worried that the impling doesn't have any good memories, only the bad memories where he made bad decisions. Not only that, it seems that he doesn't remember Moxxie, Millie, & Loona along with his company IMP, they also wondered what he meant by circus fire.

"I have to go, I'm sorry." Blitzø said as he went to the door

"Hey, Verosika, I–." Vortex entered the door

"AGH!" Blitzø shouted fearfully as he hid under the bed

"Hey, chill little man, it's just Vortex." Kat said

"I know that, he's the one who growled at me!" Blitzø said

"What? When did I do that?" Vortex said confusingly

"I think he's talking about the time you two met for the first time." Verosika said

"Oh, I see." Vortex said

"Blitzø, sweetie, it's okay, he's not gonna hurt you." Verosika assured

"Are you sure?" Blitzø said

"Positive." Verosika said "Tex, what did you came in here for?"

"Oh yeah, I called that Soul-searching guy, he's ready to talk to you."

"Okay." Verosika said "Stay here, Blitzø, we'll be back in a minute."

"Why are you guys calling me Blitzø, my name is Blitzo." Blitzo said

Verosika & her gang went outside to talk to the Soul-searching owner through the phone

"Hey, I was wondering when you were gonna call." The owner said "Is everything alright? Did you find Blitzø?"

"Yes, we did, but…I think that little soul-searching did something to him." Verosika said reluctantly

"What do you mean? Is he hurt." the owner said

"Oh no, he's not hurt, he just…changed." Verosika said

"Changed? In what way?" The owner said

"When we found him, needless to say…he's a kid again." Verosika said

"He did? You mean like age regression?" The owner said

"Yeah, that." Verosika said

"Well, that's never happened before." The owner said "Anything else?"

"He seems to have kept his memories when he was an adult, but there are only bad ones, & he has no memory of his job & his friends." Verosika said

"I see…" the owner said

"Are you sure that's never happened?" Verosika asked

"No, not before, that first time it did something like that." The owner said "But I assume that due to him having a massive negative energy from the bad things that happened to him, it must have caused him to turn back into his childhood age & wiped away any good memory that he had."

"Oh shit, that's not good." Verosika panicked internally

"Sir, is there any way to fix this?" Vortex said

"I'm sorry, but I don't think there is a way to fix this, like I implied, this is the first time something like that's ever happened." The owner said "My apologies, but there's really nothing I can do."

"Okay, thank you anyway." Verosika said as she hung up

"This is not good." Coco said

"So, what do we do about the kid, V?" Ace said

"... I'll keep him." Verosika said much to everyone's surprise & shock

"Uh, V, did we just hear you right?" Milky said

"I'm serious, he may be my ex…but I just don't have the heart to throw him out as a child." Verosika said "I would give him to Barbie, but no doubt she still has hatred for him, & who knows what she'll do to him."

"Shit, that's right, that might not be a good idea." Josh said "What about giving to Fizzarolli or an orphanage."

"Josh, the orphanages here in Hell are TERRIBLE, I can't place him under their care, plus they don't even do background checks on the adoptive parents & they don't even care about the child's safety." Verosika said "As for Fizzaroll, Blitzø still has memories of him being hated by Fizz, so I don't think it's a good idea."

"What about his co-workers & Loona." Vortex said

"I don't think we should tell them anything about it, Blitzø doesn't remember anything about them." Verosika said "Besides, I doubt they can even afford to raise a child."

"Good point." Vortex said "You sure you wanna do that, V?"

"I'm sure, it may be difficult, but the least I can do is learn to roll with it." Verosika said

"Don't worry, V, we'll help you out?" Apple said

"Really? You know you guys don't have to?" Verosika said

"But we want to, it's what friends are for." Kiki said

"Mm-hm, besides we can't let you hog all that cuteness to yourself." Milky said

"Hm, I guess." Verosika chuckled

Rescuing Blitzo was a cinch, then came the really scary part…Parenthood.

(First Night)

"V? V? V!" Blitzo said

"Huh?" Verosika woke up drowsily

"I gotta go?" Blitzo said

"Go where?" Verosika said confusingly

"You know, go bad." Blitzo said

"Oh, that kind of go, come on." Verosika said as she went through the hallway with Blitzo "If you got a go, you gotta go."

(Second Day)

Blitzo was up in a tree as Verosika & Vortex were on the ground

"Young Impling, get down here!" Verosika scolded

"Woohoo! Alright!" Blitzo cheered as he looked down "Hey, you guys look like ants down there."

"I'm counting to 3!" Verosika warned

"Yahoo!" Blitzo cheered as he jumped to a branch which broke causing him to fall down

"Uh Oh." Vortex said

"1…2…" Verosika said before she was tackled to the ground by Vortex as Blitzo landed safely on Vortex's back "...3…"

(Second night)

"V?" Blitzo said

"Huh? Again?" Verosika said

"No, I'm thirsty." Blitzo said

"You know this means you'll be up again about 2 hours from now." Verosika sighed as she went down the hall with Blitzo said

(Third Day)

Blitzø was relaxing while floating down a river

"Hang on, Blitzo, I'll save you!" Verosika said as she swam towards

"Yahoo!' Blitzo cheered as he fell down a waterfall

"I gotcha!" Ace said as he caught Blitzo

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Verosika screamed as she fell down the waterfall

"She does know she has wings, right?" Blitzo said

(Third Night)

"V?" Blitzø said

"We're gonna get old getting across this hallway." Verosika said

(Fourth Day)

Blitzo was foot juggling Verosika into the air as Apple & Coco were watching

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Verosika exclaimed

"Okay, what exactly am I watching?" Coco said

"It's a circus act, Verosika did mention that Blitzo was a circus imp." Apple said

"Blitzo, put me down!" Verosika demanded

"Okay, alley-oop!" Blitzo said as he tossed Verosika up high

*CRASH*

"Oops." Blitzo said sheepishly as Verosika was stuck to the ceiling

"A little help here!?" Verosika called out

(Fourth Night)

"V?" Blitzo said

"Ugh! What is it that you have against the concept of a beauty sleep!" Verosika said frustratingly with red eyes

"Actually I…I had a bad dream." Blitzo said

"...Oh…you wanna sleep here with me?" Verosika said

"Please?" Blitzo said

"Alright then, come here." Verosika said as Blitzo climbed under the covers with her

"Goodnight V." Blitzo said as he cuddled next to her

"Goodnight Blitzo." Verosika smiled warmly before thinking "Maybe this isn't so bad after all."
